Thanksgiving is not about the meal, but the attitude of those eating the meal. Neither is it just thanking God for the meal, but for all the blessings of life. It’s great to have a day in which we offer thanks, but it’s better to have a life that offers thanks. May the attitude of Thanksgiving not be lost in all the excitement of the day. May it be carried forward every day in the future. Although life is busy, may each of us take the time to pause and literally name many of the blessings we enjoy. I’m thankful for my devoted wife with whom I have served the Lord over 57 years. We’re thankful for the wonderful, generous brethren who have supported us all these years so that we have been able to work. We are thankful for gracious brethren all over the world who have encouraged us in so many ways. The list could go on and on. Express your list! “In everything give thanks” I Thessalonians 5:18.
